I never used to
But now I’m used to this
Nobody likes to watch their ship sink
But this ocean’s made of nails
This doesn’t happen; or so we like to think

A rose will grow, where it is watered
Breaking and crushing
A dam of man and of flowing canter  
Breaking and crushing
Built up by thoughts of indulgence
Breaking and crushing

I never used to
And I’m not naming names
Nobody likes to see Pluto let go
But it revolves around the sun
The core of fire; the source of my ego

Ohh man Ryan you know
this reminded me of
self destruction
beautiful writing

Nobody likes to watch their ship sink
But this ocean’s made of nails

Thank you.  In ways it is about self destruction, it's about letting your ego get the best of you and in that sense it can start to destroy your life.
